Jesus in Islam

Christians revere and worship Jesus as the actual "Son of God" or even "God in human form". Jews reject him as illegitimate Yeshu, a false Jewish messiah. But do you know what Muslims believe about Jesus? According to orthodox Islamic belief, not only do Muslims love and respect Prophet Jesus (Eesa) and his blessed mother Mary/Maryam (peace be upon them), but are faithfully awaiting his Second Coming and will follow him as the true Messiah and leader of the entire world in the not too distant future! Outside of the Bible, the level and depth of knowledge about Jesus found in the Quran and authentic Hadith/Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) is quite simply breath taking. And for those of you who are still on a quest for ultimate truth, may contain answers to many enigmatic questions that still haunt you from Sunday School, such as; "After being betrayed by Judas, why does Jesus seem to be a completely different person, meek and uncharacteristically silent, unable to defend himself against his murderers, even though God Himself had promised him that the "cup of death" would be removed from Jesus?". In the quest for truth, it would be a shame, in these times when Muslims are so misunderstood, to dismiss revelations about Jesus found in Islamic sources as worthless and "throw out the baby with the bathwater". Especially nowadays, when people all over the world are looking for clear directions for a faith to accept fully, or more tragically, abandoning religion altogether. For when Jesus does return, how will you recognize him for certain and be able to distinguish him from false prophets and the Antichrist. And more importantly, who will he recognize as his sincere followers by legacy? I would recommend that you read the Quran and find out the answers for yourself. And I pray that Allah gives you insight and Guides you towards the Straight Path that leads to the Almighty's Pleasure.

The same applies to the inclusion of certain copyrighted photos and images that have been degraded in composition and quality. They have been incorporated into the project by necessity because they benefit the presentation due to their symbolic and historical significance and enhance the educational awareness of viewers to the main topic of the video. Creative transformation has occurred by the embedding of personally created original artwork and animations into the newly created educational video and the complete removal of the original soundtrack to all copyrighted video clips which have been replaced by an insightful and uniquely original commentary for the purposes of scientific, religio-philosophic and scholarly review. The newly compiled video documentary is not intended to be used for commercial or monetary gain, but is rather an amateur presentation created purely for the purposes of publicly disseminating uniquely original educational information for non-profit gain in accordance with the YouTube submission policy. The overall usage of individual clips amounts to very little in relation to the original copyrighted works in totality, and the selected portions are respectfully and appropriately used to elaborate upon alternative and diverse religious and philosophical perspectives that do not necessarily represent the viewpoints of the original copyright holders.
